70seven Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Schneider for RNH. that is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanGnome Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Yes he is but doing this kind of not only screws over Lu but Cory as well. You can tell at the last half of the season Lu kind wants out of Vancouver and Cory was expecting to be the #1 goalie in Van. Now management is not only treating Lu but Cory as expendable assets in Vancouver is not ideal regardless who stays. I say buying Lu makes sense since it gives Lu options to go where he wants while MG promising fans the he wants the team to get younger. Win-Win in my books (well maybe not the owners who have to pay for the buy out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Schneider will definitely get the better return. One of the goalies should be gone soon that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UFCanuck Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I was thinking about this last night. If the compliance buyout is off the table, Gillis might be faced with a situation where the only way to move Luongo is by retaining cap/salary at 20% or more. In that situation, it becomes financially prudent to move Schneider, as Luongo's cap hit < Schneider + retained salary from Luongo trade. As far as talent, they're currently a coin flip (possibly with Luongo better in the immediate future). I have no doubts that Schneider eventually passes Luongo (especially as Lu ages and declines) but there's a good chance that Lack or Eriksson step-up by that point. If Luongo's willing to be part of a re-set in Vancouver, then this makes a lot of sense. And that's not even considering the vastly improved personnel return that comes with trading Schneider instead of Luongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev's Smirk Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 If Cory is the one traded I hope Luo still wants to be traded. It would be fitting for this team to lose both of its goalies with how this has been handled bungled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyLow_ Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 This is the second post of yours that oozes trollfaced defiance, so I have to say something. A buyout of Luongo in no way shape or form makes "sense", it's poor asset management. This is a business, not an Oprah special where feelings matter. Winning matters, pure and simple. Luongo still, despite what all the haters say (myself included) has Vezina caliber play left in him for at LEAST the next two seasons. If you couple that with the knowledge of a Schneider trade returning valuable youth and assets to the organization, trading Schneider is what makes sense. If you look at Lack and Eriksson coming up the pipeline, Luongo having 2 years of elite level play in him, combined with the youth and skill acquired in the Schneider deal, it's the best scenario for the organization going forward. Lets say Luongo is bought out, Schneider rides as the #1. In two years, he's an expiring UFA and going to be commanding a higher cap hit than what Luongo is presently making, more than likely won't leave money on the table and dwindling youth and escalating ages through the roster... we become Calgary 2.0 in 4 years if we don't trade Schneider this weekend.

babych Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Financially, long term it's better to keep Schneider because he's still younger and doesn't have a pre-lockout mega deal. Luongo is going to retire with years left on his contract which will still hurt our cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuretoMogilny Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Cam Neely deal 2.0 about to happen folks Lou will play decent but never win us a cup Schnieds will go somewhere, win a vezina, conn smythe and a cup We'll get a player in return that never stars but does 'ok'... this is what happens to canucks fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
